Anchor bolts - Galvanized or not?

[warrenw]

We are designing and supplying anchor bolts for a derrick and an elevated flare stack. We are not designing the foundation. Location is in Qatar (Middle East). No corrosion allowance has been incorporated in the design of the bolts. These bolts are 1" and 2" diameter A36 threaded rod. There is no harsh environment, bolts are just exposed to the weather.
Are anchor bolts normally supplied galvanized or at least are the exposed ends galvanized?

This is not really my field, but I have done a great deal of work in rock reinforcement and ground anchors. Galvanizing would be breached during torqueing, when the threads would be in tight contact. There are any number of protective coatings that can be painted on after the installation.

We do a lot of work in the oil industry and standard practice is to have A36 anchor bolts galvanized per ASTM A153.
